Hey docs & hospitals, you may reconsider shunning N95s.

I cannot breathe through my nose & mouth because of my tracheotomy & ventilator so wearing a mask is not effective My vent doesn’t have a filter that’s like an N95 so I depend on others around me to keep me & themselves safe That’s community care. That’s how it *should* work

Um, hey @britishmuseum, it's come to my attention that your exhibit "China's hidden century" uses my translations of Qiu Jin's poetry, but you never contacted me for permission. Please note this is a copyright infringement! How are you going to fix this?? #NameTheTranslator

Scale of the protest tonight in Shanghai. Notice police didn’t do anything but standing calmly watching ppl protest and shouting. It’s not benevolence. My guess: they need to ask for directives from the top authorities. Police might be stunned as nobody dares doing so for decades

fucked up that history professors are allowed to call 1789-1914 “the long 19th century” and yet somehow my paper is “late” because they wont accept 5 am as part of “long yesterday”
